Ingredients for Jalapeño Cheddar Biscuits:

• 3½ cups of all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 tbsp of baking powder
• 1 tsp of baking soda
• 1 tsp of salt
• ¾ cup of unsalted butter, cold
• 1½ cups of buttermilk
• ½ cup of pickled jalapeños, sliced
• 1 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded

Optional

• 1 tbsp of melted butter, for brushing

How to Make Jalapeño Cheddar Biscuits:

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F, then grease a cast-iron skillet with butter or nonstick cooking spray, and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then give them a good whisk, and grate over the cold butter.

Step 3

Mix them with a fork until each butter shred is lightly coated with the flour mixture, then pour in the buttermilk, and add in the jalapeño slices and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 4

Mix everything until a shaggy dough forms, then transfer the dough to a lightly floured counter, and shape it into a rectangle.

Step 5

Fold it into thirds, rotate it, then repeat patting and folding 2 to 3 more times to create layers, refer to the video for this process, and then roll it out so it’s the same size as the cast iron.

Step 6

Place the dough into the prepared skillet, then make deep cuts on the dough into your desired biscuit sizes, and brush them with melted butter if desired.

Step 7

Place the skillet in the preheated oven, then allow the biscuits to bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. Let them cool slightly, then serve, and enjoy!
